Larry Smukler is a New Hampshire based artist who received his MFA from Maine Media College after retirement from the judiciary. Smukler’s initial work was in the street, but in response to his wish to be less of an observer, he turned to the internal. His part of the exhibition, Immediate Whole, was recognized for evoking feelings of loss, longing and the passing of time.

Named as a finalist in the LensCulture Exposure award, Smukler’s work has been exhibited at the Ten by Ten exhibition at the FotoFest Biennial, the Griffin Museum of Photography, the Center for Photographic Art, the Maine Media Gallery, the A Smith Gallery, the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, Cove Street Arts and online at the PhotoPlace Gallery. Smukler’s work has also been featured in several publications, including Malde and Ware’s Platinotype (Making Photographs in Platinum and Palladium with the Contemporary Printing-out Process), Pictura Galley’s Curious Photo Blog, FLOAT Magazine, and the Maine Museum of Photographic Arts Antidote.
